IMPROVEMENT IN SAW-BUCKS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 175,500, dated March 28, 1876; application filed February 28, 1876.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ISRAEL REDMOND, of

I Bridgeport, county of Marion and State of Indiana, have invented certain Improvements in Saw-Bucks.

The followingdescription, taken in connection with the accompanying plate of drawings hereinafter referred to, forms a full and exact specification, wherein are set forth the nature and principles of the invention, by which the same may be distinguished from others of a similar class, together with such parts thereof as are claimed as new and are desired to be secured by Letters Patent of the United States.

Myinvention relates to that class of devices known as saw horses or saw-bucks; and the nature thereof consists in certain improvements in the construction of the same, hereinafter shown and described.

In the accompanying plate of drawings, in which corresponding parts are designated by the same letters Figure l is a view of a saw-buck having my improvements applied thereto. Fig. 2 shows the relative arrangement of the parts when a small stick of wood is placed upon the buck. Fig. 3 designates a coupling, which may be made use of for connecting the treadlerod with the clamping-rod.

A designates a saw-buck of the ordinary construction. B is a horizontal rod secured to the forward legs of the buck, upon which is hung the looped ends of the treadle G. D is a second treadle, pivoted by means of looped ends to the treadle O. E is the clamping-rod, which may be hinged to the second treadle in any convenient manner.

In Fig. l the hooked end of the clampingrod is passed over a large-sized stick of wood, in which case the foot is pressed upon the treadle O. In Fig. 2 the hooked end of the clampingrod is placed over a stick of small size, in which case the foot is pressed upon the treadle D.

I claim- A clamping attachment for saw-bucks, con-' sisting of the rod B, treadles O and D, and hooked rod E, combined as and for the purposes described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 4th day of January, 1: 76.
